Not an April Fools trick...Sellers really did reduce the price by $10,000!! Welcome home to this charming interior row/townhouse in the heart of West Reading, where comfort, convenience, and thoughtful updates come together. Offering approximately 1,310 square feet of living space, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home was remodeled just seven years ago and is truly move-in ready. From the enclosed front porch—perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings, you’re welcomed into a bright, inviting interior designed for everyday living. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a center island with sink that makes meal prep and gathering effortless. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpeting add warmth throughout, while a convenient main-floor laundry room enhances daily functionality. The finished basement provides valuable additional living space, ideal for a family room, home office, workout area, or entertaining, while still offering room for storage. Upstairs, the bedrooms are comfortable and well-sized, and the full bath includes a classic tile tub/shower combination. A rear-entry one-car garage, accessed via the alleyway, adds convenience and off-street parking—an appreciated feature in this location. Set close to schools, parks, restaurants, and Reading Hospital, this home is also ideal for commuters seeking easy access to major routes while enjoying the walkable lifestyle of West Reading. Low-maintenance, lovingly cared for, and perfectly suited for first-time buyers, this home reflects true pride of ownership and offers an exceptional opportunity to step into homeownership with confidence. Seller is a PA Licensed Realtor.
